Product Description
This polyurethane load wheel assembly delivers premium performance for Raymond 7400 Series reach trucks and compatible equipment. The wheel features a durable 95A Shore hardness polyurethane compound bonded to a machined steel core, providing excellent traction and load-bearing capacity. Stainless steel bearings throughout the assembly resist corrosion and rust in cold storage, wet rooms, humid environments, and areas exposed to saltwater spray or chemical exposure. The open toe hub configuration ensures direct compatibility with Raymond equipment. This load wheel assembly is built for reliability in demanding warehouse and logistics environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the SS designation mean on the RA 632-043-XL-A-SS part number?
A: The SS suffix indicates stainless steel bearings. This load wheel assembly is identical to the RA 632-043-XL-A except the bearings are constructed from stainless steel rather than standard steel. Stainless steel bearings resist corrosion in wet, humid, or chemical storage environments.
Q: When should I choose the stainless steel bearing version over the standard bearing version?
A: Choose stainless steel bearings if your equipment operates in cold storage, wet rooms, humid environments, or areas exposed to saltwater spray or corrosive chemicals. The SS version prevents rust and bearing seizure in these conditions. For dry indoor warehouses, the standard RA 632-043-XL-A is sufficient and more economical.
Q: Is the polyurethane wheel material the same between the standard and stainless steel bearing versions?
A: Yes. Both the RA 632-043-XL-A and RA 632-043-XL-A-SS use the same 95A hardness premium soft polyurethane compound and machined steel core. The only difference is the bearing material. Wheel diameter and width are identical.
Q: Will stainless steel bearings add weight to the assembly?
A: Stainless steel is slightly heavier than standard steel. However, the weight difference in bearing material is negligible for a single load wheel and will not affect truck performance or load capacity on Raymond 7400 Series equipment.
Q: Is the RA 632-043-XL-A-SS compatible with Raymond 7400 Series reach trucks?
A: Yes. The RA 632-043-XL-A-SS is a direct replacement for Raymond 7400 Series Reach Pallet Trucks with open toe hub configuration. Stainless steel bearings do not affect fitment or compatibility with the truck frame.
Q: How much longer do stainless steel bearings last compared to standard steel bearings?
A: In corrosive environments, stainless steel bearings can extend bearing life by 50 to 100 percent or more by preventing rust and corrosion that would otherwise seize the bearing. In dry conditions, lifespan difference is minimal. The polyurethane tread remains the limiting factor for wheel replacement in normal warehouse use.
